BO 60185

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the BO 60185 and what is its application?
A: The BO 60185 is a precision-machined high-carbon steel pin engineered for use in Boman manual pallet jack load arm assemblies and pivot mechanisms. It is heat-treated to provide wear resistance and dimensional stability under repeated load cycles.

Q: What material grade is the BO 60185 pin?
A: The BO 60185 is manufactured from SAE 1045 high-carbon steel, heat-treated and precision-machined. It features a black oxide finish for corrosion resistance and includes an external retaining ring groove to secure snap rings or other fastening components.

Q: Which Boman pallet jack models use the BO 60185 pin?
A: The BO 60185 is compatible with Boman manual pallet jack mechanisms, specifically designed for the BO 60185 assembly position. Cross-reference alternate model designation BO60185. Verify your equipment serial range and assembly diagram before ordering to confirm fitment.

Q: What is the service life expectancy of the BO 60185?
A: The heat-treated SAE 1045 steel construction provides excellent wear resistance in pivot and articulation points. Lifespan is typically extended under normal warehouse duty with regular lubrication. Signs of replacement need include visible wear grooves, binding or grinding sensations, or micro-fractures visible at the snap ring groove.

Q: Does the BO 60185 come with any pre-installed components?
A: The BO 60185 is supplied as a bare pin with black oxide finish. It includes an external retaining ring groove machined into the shaft. Snap rings, cotter pins, or other fasteners are ordered separately and must match the groove diameter and load rating.
